Perfect for those first lessons back after holidays or as a transition activity between key stages. Introduce the example profile and discuss the different mathematical concepts used, then challenge students to create their own. This can be completed individually in class, as a homework task, or as a collaborative activity where students share interesting mathematical facts about themselves. It works brilliantly as a display piece that showcases mathematical thinking while helping classmates learn about each other.
